We are at an altitude of 820 m in a bed of calcareous rocks where, at the contact between the red sandstones and the travertine, water infiltrates, giving rise to a line of springs, hence the name of the Cent Fonts. We find several ponds, built by the Espluga de Francolí Town Council, in order to increase faunal biodiversity and create an aquatic habitat. In this way, we can see various amphibians such as toads and salamanders. There is also a picnic area further down with stone tables and benches. In 1887, Sister Mercè Farré Oró, the superior nun of the convent of the Daughters of Charity of l'Espluga de Francolí, promoted the channeling of the water from Les Cent Fonts to the town.

It is known that the Poblet forest is rich in springs. Undoubtedly the most well-known and popular are the Boixets fountain and the Deport fountain. The Sport source is located under the Cingle de les Cabres. From this location, the trail leads up to the La Pena viewpoint. The place has a lot of charm and in the past the monks had some kind of construction there (remember that the place is very close to the site of the old La Pena farm and currently a forestry house). These constructions were maintained after the exclaustration of the Poblet monastery, when the Pena estate was sold to private individuals and also later (in 1906) when it was expropriated to be reincorporated into the management of the forestry services. Currently, however, we can only find small evidence of those constructions. The location of the Deport fountain has also had other changes or modifications over the years, and one of these was the location of the fountain itself.

formed by an extensive network of mountain ranges and ravines, more than twenty sets of rock formations are located, a number that continues to grow because new ones are discovered every year. Currently, only Portell de les Lletres shelter, Mas d’en Llort and Mas d’en Ramon d’en Bessó can be visited due to the difficulty of access presented by the rest and also due to their conservation problems, This shelter, together with that of Portell de les Lletres and that of Mas d'en Ramon d'en Bessó, are part of the Catalan rock art ensemble, declared World Heritage by UNESCO since 1998, they constitute a group where a short distance away you can observe the two great cultural traditions and styles of cave art in our country, Levantine art and schematic art. This gives the visit a good opportunity to get to know the societies between the late Paleolithic and the Neolithic-Bronze, between 12,000 and 4,000 years ago. You can also visit the interpretation center located in the town of Montblanc.
